Journal of industrial and business economics—Economia e politica industriale: a historical sketch of the first fifty years

Abstract

This article offers a descriptive summary of the fifty years of the Journal of Industrial and Business Economics , with information and data on the protagonists, governance, issues and changes that have taken place in half a century. Reference is first made to the Italian context, in which the Journal was born and grew, and then to the international context in which it stands today. The non-conformist origin of the Journal and its focus on the major challenges of our changing world are emphasized, which we hope will be maintained in the future.
